Salone del Mobile 2007


Zona Tortona. Underconstruction was the name of the exhibition space in this stunning designer pre-fab modular structure designed by Milan based firm, Bestetti Associati for Pircher. It is here that Paola Lenti was showing her collection, together with a handful of other companies.

The model. Planit is a designer pre-fab module produced by Pircher and designed by Bestetti Associati. The innovative, versatile and eco-friendly modular structure is based on a 21 sq. unit. It is perfect for a private house, a bar, an office or a shop, at the seaside in the country or in town. This much admired structure was the talk of the Salone, we all wanted to order one straight away.

Seen at Underconstruction. A long rectangular pouff called Play from the Paola Lenti Felt Tricot collection is placed by the window of the Planit pre-fab modular structure. I loved the knitted effect on the sides, mixed with the felt effect on top, it’s rather chic and it looks so soft and welcoming, so let’s forget about the Salone and just take a nap for a while in this idyllic setting.
